Well said. I happen to like old school and don’t really care what gets played on Top 40 radio. Most of the (Sirius Radio) stations I listen to probably count as “adult contemporary” or AAA so I don’t have a problem with that lable.
I like WRIR, which has a vaguely Sam Cooke-esque vibe and there’s a a little of something that reminds me of a couple of Keb’ Mo’s more “commercial” songs. That said, I will always prefer Taylor’s more organic EW stuff to the protooled stuff on TH. If Taylor’s other works on the Distance are more accoustic, that would make me happy.
I did hear a clip of “Nineteen” from the new album when it was posted on the Rocket Science site – before they took it down. It was a totally different flavor form one is. I personally think both songs are better than most of what was on Taylor’s same-named release.

I agree with you about WRIR and 19 being so different. I wondered if Taylor may be trying different genres to see which one he may fit into commercially the best. 19 definitely had a country flavor to it and WRIR reminds me more of pop soul if there is such a category.
Hmmm, well I’m in my 50s and I buy all my music on itunes. I have several kinds of ipods and I got rid of my stereos and cds a long time ago. God I hate stereotypes. I also buy a hell of a lot of music and always have.
If Taylor appeals to middle aged, nothing wrong with that. It’s a big enough demographic. I think today’s music listeners have been conditioned to think that everything has to be top 40, or fit into a neat genre, or be adored by teenagers in order to be relevant. I’m sorry but I think we’re all relevant, and will be until the day we die.
Yeah I would like him to sing Ray L. stuff. We haven’t heard the whole cd though. The first single isn’t earth-shattering but it’s pleasant to listen to. Doesn’t sound like he’s going for teenagers. Didn’t he say he’s aiming at AC? Sounds like he’s doing what he said he’d do.
The song reminds me of Neal Diamond’s “Pretty Amazing Grace.” Similar vibe, similar in that it’s a love song about a satisfying relationship, similar in being kind of witty play on words. I’m more into Neil Young than Neal Diamond, but I like that song. At this point in my life I like a love song now and then. I have a mellow relationship and like songs that reflect that.
